English Translations file is updated !​

So if I want to add language that don't have ASCII char, how should I do it? I am talking about Hebrew.
How do I make my Mi Band 3 show Hebrew and not English/other language.
I have Hebrew font and I'm able to see Hebrew notifications

Just use the Firmware 2.2.0.42 | English Bold Font.

And I need to write over the English, right?

Yes. But you will maybe have a problem, it will be displayed in LTR.

Work well!
No need to change direction (LTR to RTL).
Thank you very much!

Hi,

Can I use find & replace to translate from English to Romanian language? I have to put some 00 bites where is it necesary?

Stop doing that, I bricked my Mi band3. Update successfully and after reboot didn't start.

The Notify&Fitness app sees the bracelet but it show the message that the bracelet has rejected the connection.
Now it's in the freezer, I'm trying to discharge the battery. Maybe I can do something to bring it to life....

Hi, I found in updating strings (Update, Updated, Update font...) not show characters: F, é, maybe other.
In other strings is all OK.
Im test translations instead English in English Bolt font and instead Polish in FW with set default Polish language.

Example:
show rissít for Frissítés
show rissítve for Frissítve
show Aktualizovan for Aktualizované

Im try old Slovak FW by Kirill and result is same not show full strings (show Aktualizovan for Aktualizované).
Question:
Is possible these strings use other font as normal strings?

Because you didn't respect rules...

I will not explain all again and again, so read the thread and posts for understand what's you did wrong. And compare size of your Modified Firmware with the Original.

It's really strange, "F" and "é" aren't displayed, and "í" is displayed. I'm not sure it's related to the font.

You can translate from Arabic, we use in Czech and Slovak translation from Polish. Set Arabic as the default language. The string starts at the specified address and ends with 00, characters after 00 and before the next string are skipped

You can download for 2.3.0.2 by magicalunicorn

 

[njuman]

What specific bytes need to be changed in the FW to set the default language?

 

[Cultman]

Please, which set of bytes corresponds to defining the default language?

Change version in FW 2.3.0.2 to 2.3.0.6 and more, or use MiFit 3.5.8 and older
